"Make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh..."
Three years ago I sat my final accountancy exams, the December sittings were a week before Christmas and involved three days of exams. It was a big stressful pain in the arse but every cloud has a silver lining, in this case the cloud was in the shape of a beautiful redhead named Kerry. I had known Kerry from past courses and I had seen her at the exams on the first 2 days so I knew that my last chance to ask her out would be after the final exam. Tense stuff huh?

Anyhoo, after the last exam I pushed through the crowd to get to her before she got into her car and drove out of my life forever. “Hi Kerry, how’d it go?” She looked miserable and didn’t stop walking. I deduced that if I could cheer her up I would be in. “I’ve got a relevant seasonal joke for you” I quipped, “How did Santa know his workshop would be a profitable business venture?..He calculated the Net Present Value!” She looked at me like I was insane. “You know, NPV, like in question 5…” She stopped in her tracks; “WHAT. QUESTION. FIVE??” “Errr, the last question” I ventured, “On the back page”. She cupped her hands over her mouth and ran off crying.

So remember kids, always read the entire exam paper because Super-Ted cant always be there to save you.
